1 BE A PART OF MCUS LIST SERVICES With the Internet and on -line technology being the latest trend, someone was bound to create List Services for Municipal Attorneys, Clerks, Managers and MIS personnel. It has finally happened, compliments of Municipal Code Corporation. Municipal Code Corporation is currently operating List Services exclusively for municipal use. If you are a Municipal Attorney, Manager, Clerk or MIS specialist and have an e-mail address, a List exists for you. We are confident the List will become one of your most valuable resources. The benefits are many and the expenses few. What is a List Service? A List Service is a creative use of e-mail. A List operates similarly to a broadcast fax system, but it goes further and provides an opportunity for dialogue between all the members on the list. Basically, an electronic List is software that accepts a message from any of the members on the List (referred to as subscribers) and distributes that message to all the other subscribers. The message is received as e-mail and gives the recipient the opportunity to reply privately to the author or publicly to all the subscribers. Uses for the Municipal List Services. Perhaps the best way to explain how a List Service can be used is to quote someone who makes daily use of List Services. B.J. Thompson, an attorney practicing municipal law, nicely summarizes her use of the Municipal Attorney List. "I think the MCC List is absolutely the best and most efficient networking tool available for municipal attorneys.... I've set up an archive system which saves each e-mail by subject matter. When a new problem comes up, I often think, `Hmmmmm ....... wasn't that a thread on the MCC ListT And sure enough, it was! With a few keystrokes, I often move from clueless to enlightened, and I can sleep that night." Thus, the Municipal List Services will put YOU in touch with your colleagues around the country. You and the other participants determine the discussion on the List Service. Topics range from sample ordinances being requested to a discussion of personnel issues. Uses for the list are limited only by your imagination! All you need is an e-mail address and you are ready to begin the List Service adventure. How do I subscribe to the Municipal List Services?
